Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Shiho Miyano quickly recovered.

In the doctor's bedroom, Ran and Hikaru Hoshino sat side by side, helping Shiho Miyano examine her body.

In another room, Professor Agasa and Conan were discussing matters concerning Shiho Miyano with Yusaku Kudo, having, of course, with Shiho Miyano's permission.

After learning about Shiho Miyano's situation, Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo were stunned for a long time. Then Yusaku Kudo said that he would respect Shiho Miyano's own choice. If Shiho Miyano chose to stay in Tokyo, he would help her forge a suitable identity.

If she wants to be with her sister, then after some time, Kudo Yusaku will find an opportunity to talk to Akai Shuichi alone.

"Ms. Miyano, your body temperature has fully recovered."

Inside the room, Xiaolan put away the thermometer, her tone becoming more reserved.

When Xiaolan first met the girl, she instinctively treated her like a child and took care of her. However, as time went by, she gradually realized that the girl in front of her was indeed a year older than her.

Moreover, the two women had different life experiences. Ran couldn't imagine how much darkness Shiho Miyano had suffered since she grew up in darkness, nor did she dare to say anything like she could understand. She simply took care of her in her own way.

"Don't be so formal, just call me Shiho... no, I can't use that name anymore."

Shiho Miyano spoke with a hint of melancholy. Although the past eighteen years had not brought her many good memories of her identity, it was still a name connected to her older sister.

"Then, prepare a new name, just like Conan Edogawa, to represent your new life."

Hoshino Hikaru nodded his chin and suggested.

"A new name? I've already thought about it, Ai Haibara!"

Shiho Miyano, Ai Haibara nodded gently. In the past few days, she had thought about a new name that would suit her.

"Ai Haibara?"

Xiao Lan repeated the name softly, as if it carried a hint of sadness.

"Regarding the choice you gave me a few days ago, I think I have my answer: I want to stay here."

Ai Haibara's expression became much more serious, and she spoke earnestly.

"Oh? You've decided?"

Hoshino Hikaru raised an eyebrow slightly and spoke in a serious tone.

"That's right. Meeting my sister at this time will only harm her. Besides, running away is useless. The organization will search for me at all costs. If I keep running away, one day I will have nowhere to retreat."

"So, I've decided that I'll stay and fight. Although my combat strength isn't great, my scientific knowledge can still help you. Besides, the old man can't research the antidote that Shinichi Kudo needs without my help."

Ai Haibara ran her right hand through her hair, a confident smile flashing in her eyes as she expressed her determination in a teasing tone.

"I see. Well then, welcome to the team, Ai!"

Seeing this, Ran subconsciously revealed a gentle look and patted Ai Haibara's head.

Ai Haibara's gaze reminded her of herself. After learning about Shinichi Kudo's experiences, she had also made the same decision to fight against the terrifying Black Organization.

"Speaking of which, you're a bit younger than me. In front of outsiders, to hide my identity, I should call you Sister Ran. But here, shouldn't you call me Sister Ai?"

Ai Haibara looked at Ran, who was patting her head, and a playful smile appeared on her lips as she spoke in a casual tone.

"Huh? Is that so?"

Xiaolan's eyes instantly turned into beady pupils, and she was speechless for a moment.

"Of course not! To hide your identity, you must get used to living as the child Ai Haibara in any situation. So, call me 'Hikaru-nii' (older brother Hikaru)!"

Seeing this, Hoshino Hikaru couldn't help but twitch his lips. He then squatted down and teased Haibara Ai.

Ai Haibara's expression instantly stiffened, and she glared at Hikaru Hoshino with annoyance.

"Alright, Hikaru, stop bullying Ai!"

The professor appeared at the door at some point, walking in with a smile on his face. Conan followed behind him, and couldn't help but roll his eyes as well.

"Since you've made your decision, we respect your choice and welcome you to join us!"

Conan looked at Ai Haibara, took a deep breath, and spoke solemnly.

"Nice to meet you!"

Ai Haibara smiled and nodded, looking at the people in front of her, a warm feeling flashing in her azure eyes.

……

With Ai Haibara joining the family, Professor Agasa's household has gained another permanent resident. Fortunately, the house is large enough to accommodate one person per room.

The next morning, in Hoshino Hikaru's room.

"Ring ring!"

When the phone rang, Hoshino Hikaru, who was lying on the bed, was slightly startled.

The original owner didn't have many friends at school, and now she doesn't know many people either. She basically stays around Professor Agasa's house, and yet someone is calling her.

Sonoko Suzuki

Looking at the name on the screen, Hoshino Hikaru recalled the promise he made when he last met Sonoko, and with a sudden thought, he answered the phone.

"Hey, Hoshino-kun, long time no see! Are you free tomorrow?"

Sonoko's lighthearted voice rang out, tinged with a hint of teasing.

"How long? I think it's been less than a week?"

Hoshino Hikaru's lips twitched slightly as he thought to himself, but then he glanced at the calendar on the wall. The timeline had changed from April to June, and he couldn't help but sigh at the timeline of Conan's novels.

"I'm free tomorrow. What's up? Any plans?"

"Of course, my sister is planning to take some friends to a villa in the mountains for a trip, and I'd like to invite Xiaolan to come with you. Xiaolan has already agreed. What do you say?"

Sonoko spoke casually, showing no signs of unfamiliarity despite having only met Hoshino Hikaru a few times.

"I see. May I bring others along?"

Of course, Hoshino Hikaru wouldn't refuse, but instead glanced at Haibara Ai's room and asked.

"Huh? You're not bringing a kid along too, are you? Xiaolan asked me if I could bring two kids with me."

Sonoko spoke with a hint of resentment; she had a very bad feeling about the brat.

"Fine, do whatever you want. It doesn't matter if there are a few more brats."

Sonoko sighed softly, her tone tinged with helplessness.

"Thank you, Suzuki-kun."

Hikaru Hoshino nodded slightly to Sonoko to express his gratitude before hanging up the phone.

"The garden's invitation, the mountain villa... could it be related to the 'Bandaged Man Incident'?"

Various thoughts began to flash through Hoshino Hikaru's mind. He certainly wouldn't forget the bandaged monster from the childhood trauma series.

Moreover, even if he weren't the "bandage monster," there's a high probability that problems would still arise if Sonoko's family invited Ran and Conan to their villa.

"Hey, you're not planning to ask me to come along, are you?"

Ai Haibara appeared behind Hikaru Hoshino at some point, her tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.

"It's not good for children to stay at home all day."

Hoshino Hikaru snapped out of his daze and spoke in a teasing tone, ruffling Ai Haibara's soft brown hair.

"I'm much older than you!"

Ai Haibara slapped Hoshino Hikaru's hand away and glared at him fiercely.

"But right now, you're just a child. Children should have the characteristics of children—being lively and cute. This will help you conceal your identity later. Besides, you'll eventually need to interact with and get to know the people around us, won't you?"

Hikaru Hoshino crouched down, patted Ai Haibara on the shoulder, and spoke earnestly.

"I can't do anything with you! Fine, I'll join you too."

Ai Haibara met Hikaru Hoshino's serious gaze, shook her head slightly, and spoke with a hint of helplessness.
